To @ZZ whom it may concern:

De it known that I, Sinon HAwRnsoH, a

citizen of Poland, residing` at lilontrcal,

bec, and Dominion of Canada, and l, BILLV Dwonsnr, a citizen of Boland, residing at Montreal, Province of Quebec, and Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination Furniture, of which the following is a speciication.

This invention relates to improvements in combination furniture and more particularly to a combined bed and wardrobe.

The object of the invention is to provide a wardrobe into which a bed may be folded when not in use, to increase floorspace and produce a sightly article of furniture, and also to provide a simple and convenient collapsible bed spring which when folded is contained within the lower part of the wardrobe, thereby providing a space in the upper part of the wardrobe for the storage of clothing and the like.

These and other like objects are attained by the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter described and shown in the accompanying drawings, forming a material part of this disclosure, and in which- Figure 1 is a horizontal sectional view through the device showing the same eX- tended.

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a front view in elevation of the device folded.

Fig. 4 is a side view of Fig. 3 showing a portion of the wall broken away to more clearly illustrate the details of construction, and

Fig. 5, is an enlarged fragmentary perspective view of a portion of the spring and its supporting bars.

Referring to the drawings in detail, the numeral 10 designates the back of the device having secured to its side edges the side walls 11, to the forward vertical edges of which is attached a front wall 12 having an opening 13 therein. A top 14 is provided and the whole thus forms a rectangular box or closet the upper portion of which provides storage space for clothing and the like.

Doors 15 are hinged to the side walls of y the like.

` Secured near the lower end of the back 10 and adjacent the sides 11 are the tubular guides 17 which extend through the opening 13, in parallel relation to the sides 11 and are projected beyond the front wall 12 for a short distance, as at 18, for a purpose to beV hereinafter described.

Guide rods 19 are slidable in the guides 17 and have attached to their forward ends a foot piece 20, tothe upper end of which is a hinged section 21 carrying a shelf or ledge 22.

One edge of this shelf 22 is projected beyond the free end of the section 21 and, when the device is in closed position, rests on the strips 23 carried at the lower edge of the doors 15. V

Upon reference to Fig. 4 it will be seen that the projection 18 of the guides 17 provide stops to limit the inward movement of the foot piecel 20, while the strips 23 act as rests for the shelf 22 to limit its downward movement when the device is in closed position. 1n order to lock the shelf against upward movement hooks 24 are provided.

The bed spring consists of a frame having Y a pair of parallel end bars connected to the telescopic side bars 25, the inner section of which. has pivoted thereto a link 26, which in turn has its opposite end pivoted to a link 27.

The ends of the links 27 opposite those connected to the links 26, are pivoted adjacent the outer ends of the outer sections of the telescopic bars `25 and it will be seen that as the bars 25 are telescoped, the links 26 and 27 will move into the position illustrated in Fig. 4, carrying with them the central portion of the spring fabric 28 which is connected to the links 26 and 27, at their joints, by clips 29 which embrace the beaded edges 3() of the spring fabric 28.

lt will be understood that the ends of the spring fabric are connected to the end bars.

From the foregoing it will be seen that upon the telescoping of the side bars 25, the links will stretch the spring, thereby preventing its buckling and keeping the same in shape at all times.

While in the foregoing there has been described a Preferred embodiment of the invention, it Will be apparent that minor modifications can be mede without departing from the general spirit and scope set Vguide rails, ey section hinged to seid foot pieceend cm'ryinfi' e shelf adapted to, rest against the lower edges of seid doors, and a bed spi-ing carried by said guides and rails.

2. In n device ofthe class described, e cabinet having en open front, doors vfor closing the upper portion thereof, tubular y guides in the lower portion of the cabinet, extensions on Vthe guides beyond the front of the cabinet, guide rails slideble in said guides, e foot piece connecting seid guide rails, e bed spring carried by seid guides and rails, supporting` flanges secured to the lower edges of the doors, end :iA section hinged to seid foot piece carrying a shelf adapted to rest on said flanges, the eXtensions spacing the foot piece from the doors e. distance equal to the widthof the shelf.

ln testimony whereof we have eiiixed our signatures.
